DIRECTV Genie Remote Troubleshooting

If you’re having issues with your DIRECTV Genie remote, there are a few possible solutions.

The first is to check whether your Genie remote is low on batteries using the remote’s built-in battery tester. If the green light up top is blinking slowly or doesn’t show up at all, replace the batteries.
